Body Composition = the amount of lean body mass compared to the amount of body fat.
What are 3 examples of "lean body mass"?
1. Bone
2. Muscle
3. Organs
4. Body Fluids
What are 3 of the benefits of fat in your body?
1. Acts as an insulator, helping the body adapt to heat and cold
2. Acts as a shock absorber, helping to protect internal organs and bones from injury.
3. Helps the body use vitamins effectively
4. Acts as storage energy when the body needs energy
5. Maintains healthy skin and hair
6. Regulates levels of cholesterol in the blood.
How do you think a person's body composition is tested?
~ Body Composition is measured by calculating a person’s Body Mass Index (or BMI). Elementary students’ body composition is constantly changing due to rapid growth spurts, so children have a different BMI calculation table than adults. Calculating your BMI is generally something your doctor will do at a wellness check that you might not even be aware of to make sure that your body is healthy.
Correct your answers from the previous wiki assignment. It might be easiest to just delete what you had already put, and copy and paste the entire section listed below. Remember, this will be used as a study guide for your end of the year Fitness Component test.
Experiment:
Move your arms in large circles going forward
Now move them going backwards.
Your shoulder joint is called a BALL JOINT. All ball joints should have the same range of motion ability.
